Different domains of manuscript culture transform at different pace. Some manuscript practices sustain through time, while others change or disappear. Thus, the Soninke manuscripts with commentaries on Ibn Mahīb’s poem do not show any significant change in layout and annotations over the 19th to 21st centuries, whereas the Qur’an manuscripts with annotations in Old Kanembu ceased to exist in the 19th century. The project will study the factors behind the transformation of the Soninke and Old Kanembu manuscript cultures, especially in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The project will explore which domains of these cultures are more stable and why. Given the largely unrelated nature of the Soninke and Old Kanembu written traditions, the results of the proposed project will have a typological importance for the study of dynamics of manuscript cultures in general.

不同领域的手稿文化转型的步调不同。一些手稿实践经久不衰，而另一些则发生变化或消失。因此，对Ibn Mahīb的诗歌进行注释的索宁克手稿在19至21世纪的布局和注释方面没有任何重大变化，而在19世纪，带有旧卡内姆布注释的古兰经手稿不复存在。该项目将研究Soninke和旧Kanembu手稿文化转变背后的因素，特别是在19世纪末和20世纪。该项目将探索这些文化的哪些领域更稳定，以及为什么。鉴于Soninke和旧Kanembu书写传统基本无关的性质，拟议项目的结果将对一般手稿文化的动态研究具有类型学意义。
